COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION

Light clear yellow with fizzy head. Light aromas of hops, grain, and faint caramel. For the flavor, its not bad for a light beer. Light hops just barely noticeable, light grain, and just a smidgen of caramel. Crisp, light, quenches your thirst. One of the better light beers money can buy.

LetsGoState (310) - Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 22, 2012
Pours a medium white head with clear yellow. Aroma is almost nonexistent. Taste is a very bland, grainy malt. Overall another cheap beer.

Finhead (654) - OFallon, Illinois, USA - DEC 30, 2011
Very pale, clear pour with a white head. It has a mild barley and hop aroma. Light body with a thin, crisp texture and lively carbonation. The tastes is well balanced and refreshing, but nothing special.

GL2814 (130) - New York, New York, USA - OCT 31, 2011
Watery and all around disappointing. Has a slight grainy taste with a hint of piss in the aroma. It’s almost like drinking urine after having eaten asparagus.

jcweaver (367) - VA Beach, Virginia, USA - OCT 24, 2011
Bottle. Pours pale yellow with a medium white head. Aroma is skunky and malty. Watery with a little grain/light malt taste. Skunky and metallic finish. Yuck.

drowland (3570) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - OCT 17, 2011
10/17/11. 12oz bottle. Ugh, the problem of being a ticker. Super clear light golden pour with a tiny white head that fades and barely laces at all. Aroma is... almost nothing... a teensy bit of seltzer water, grass, and apples. Similarly light flavor with a touch of green apple and cracker. I have to say, it’s not great, but it definitely could be more offensive than it is.

Boliv (964) - New York, USA - OCT 4, 2011
Bottle during happy hour. Cheap, so what the hell, right? Pale yellow with a small head, aromas of stale corn, straw/hay, and some metal. The flavor is watered-down straw, some sweet malt, and a bit of alcohol. Thin, watery, medium/high carbonation. You get what you pay for. [845]

Ratman197 (5536) - Arvada, Colorado, USA - AUG 31, 2011
Bottle poured a clear pale yellow with a small lingering white head. Aromas of straw and light corn. Palate was light bodied and crisp with a smooth finish. Flavors of straw and a hint of corn with a smooth finish.
